Low Cut Connie w/ The Silks 5/6/15 Bar

.  Providence- based The Silks were a 70s sounding rock trio. Guitarist looked and played like Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Frenetic drummer and Slade t-shirt wearing bassist comprised the group.
    Low Cut Connie hails from Philadelphia although drummer and sometimes guitarist had a decidedly British accent (a touch more vocals in the monitor mate). Two guitars, drums, bass, and charismatic leader on a beat up piano named Shandra. Straight up rock and roll with the pianist doing his best Jerry Lee Lewis acrobatics in,on, and around Shandra. "Shake it Little Tina" from their recent record was a highlight. Closed the show with a rousing version of Harry Nilsson's "Jump Into The Fire" complete with Ray Liotta, Goodfellas reference. This song is playing during the crazy cocaine-fueled helicopter scene at the end of that movie.
